CNN Heroes - What A Great Event/Incredible People

There's so much bad news on tv each day and yet there are so many incredible organizations and people doing amazing things to help others each day. Kudos to CNN for taking a day to call to attention these "everyday heroes." If you didn't get a chance to watch it live, this link contains the clips of the 10 honorees as well as the winner. I post them on the blog as a further remind to the students in the class as well as all of us of the potential and power that we all have to change the world for the better. One primary goal of this class has been to plant seeds in the minds of the students that each of them has the ability and power to make a big difference in the world. We have talked in class about it, had field activities to see and feel it up close as well as had the opportunity to meet people and organizations that have done it. To me, CNN Heroes and the wonderfully moving stories (like so many we have seen and heard during the class) is another shining example of how much good each and everyone one of us is capable of (regardless of one's age or background). http://www.cnn.com/SPECIALS/cnn.heroes/index.html
